Disagreeing with part of it is not disagreeing with all of it...

Original Question
Sometimes when I disagree with one part of some ideology the response is that if I disagree with one part then I must disagree with all of it. Take feminism for instance. I agree with most of feminism but some really weird stuff is occasionally slipped in. Lets say this weird idea is X. Only a small minority of extreme radical feminists believe in X but it is represented as if all or most do. Then if you question X the response is that if you disagree with X then you reject all of feminism. But I only disagree with X.
This might be the packaged deal fallacy.

1I think the package-deal fallacy fits well. More importantly than the name, we must realize that this thinking is fallacious. This is similar to the idea that if you disagree with any radical social justice idea, then you are a "Nazi." A big problem in this current sociopolitical environment.
